Hardware The SIMOLINK ring comprises the minimum of two and a maximum of
201 SLB modules, which are coupled to one another through fiber-optic
cables. There is only one SL master on a ring. All of the other nodes are
slaves.
An SLB module is a hardware component of an ITSL, an EXM 448-1
module or an option module SLB (SIMOLINK Board, Order No. 6SX7010-
